the cylinder part w housing being provided with a handle 48 for use in removing or replacing the housing 1n the position illustrate in .gigs. 1 to 3.

It will thus be apparent t lat a simple and eflicient arrangement and construction have been devised for carryin out the desired he cover member, with its securing means arranged as above described, is of such a character as to adapt the same to be removabl secured in position over different sizes and shapes of receptacles; for example, the cover may be secured to tubs such as shown butof varying diameters, or to a wash boiler of the common well-known type, the slots 20 permitting the bolts 16 to be shifted to the required positions of adjustment for securing the same to the top margin of the receptacle When thus secured, one half of the Washing cylinder projects down into the tube or receptacle in the usual operative position Where it is submerged partially in the wash water as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3, while then per half of the clylinder is inclosed by the li busing 46 whic guards against the esca e of fumes, steam, etc. When the wash cylinder issupplied with clothes to be washed and is rotated by operation of the handle44, the

water. and steam may enter the cylinder through the perforations 30, and the flanges 32 serve to pick up and carry the contentsof 28, said contents droppin'gback' down soon after the flan es pass horizontal position. The corrugat surface of th e' drum 28 acts with the ordinary. washboard .efl'ect uponthe contents of the c ingaction, as wall be readily understood.

ay around with the drum ylinderto enhance the cleanin ents, I desire to expressly reserve-the ri ht to make all such formal changesor mo lfications as may fairly fall within the scope of the appends claims. What I claim is:

1. Ina washing machine, a cover adapted to be secured to a receptacle, .a rotary cylinder journaled on said cover, a housing. for said cylinder, and adjustable securing means for attaching said cover to various sizes of rece tacles. j

2. n awashing machine, a cover adapted to be secured to a receptacle,"a rotary cylinder carriedbysaid cover, a housing'carried' by theupper face of said being jour'naled on said cover so that one half of said, cylinder is inclosed by said hous .ing and theother half of the cylinder projects below said cover, and adjustable scour mg means for attaching said oover to various sizes of recetacles. .L

3-. In a washing machine, a cover adapted to be secured to-a' receptacle, a rotary "linder journaled onsaid cover with oneha f of the cylinder projecting beneath cover,- said cylinder the cover, 'a,

removable housing for theupper half ofsaid cylinder, saidcover being 'rovided with a series of attaching bolts. an slots adjustably receivin said bolts, whereb. said cover may be detac ablysecured to" ifi'erent sirlesof receptacles,
